Sure, i always show dutch ones Jan

Then this is the next one. First hint: it's a tug Jan

No, it is exactly what you should expect: take two peices of brass wire, and try to make it look like shrould laid: you will notice that you have to turn your wires counter-clockwise (which is left) I don't think most viewers of our models will notice the cable-shrould difference in a model scal 1:64. Also the difference in the way the shroulds are round the dead-eyes will be lost to the average spectator. But it is the builder who decedes.... Springy rope is a nightmare: I am currently doing the rigging of the Prins Willem (Corel 1:100), and the yards are not heavy enough to counterbalance the springyness of the kit provided rope. Quite frustrating.... Jan

Hi Diederik, You could also upload the whole bunch to a picasa-webalbum, and put the link to that album here. something like: https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/ZevenProvicien?authuser=0&feat=directlink Jan

The interesting question is: when will it be released? Jan

HMCS patrol boat, canada, sunk in WW1, but no war-casualty. Google all of the above, and you end up with HMCS Galiano. I guess, there is no other that fits the bill. Jan

No. hollidays are over. Due to the background my second thought was canada....(my first was: finland or sweden, but as you say it is outside europe...) Jan

Apart from the fact that the lower plank is about 0.5 micron wider than the adjoinging one, I can't see any flaws in the planking. (That is, if the offending plank is in your pic, perhaps you left it out....) Your ship looks absolutely stunning. Jan

that's very nice! Did Tromp had an open funnel, or was she fitted with one of those caps on top of the funnel? Jan
-
You don't know either, of course, but I still wonder why some drawings place doors in the lookout-post for the helmsman.... Nice pump, by the way! Jan
-
ON your model one turn will be enough. Jan
-
NOt an answer but a question in return: Do you have belaying pins in your kit? Jan
-
But part(s) of them were destroyed
-
Two or three names? Jan
-
OK, narrowing down: Tribal class? Jan

Iron on veneer
amateur replied to maltbyguy's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I very much doubt whether Doris uses material that has to be ironed on.... I thought she uses self-adhesive materials. Jan -
She's a destroyer, but I guess that's not enough for you Jan
-
Nice model of a nice ship. One question: why do you refer to her as a flyboat? I thought these ships were called yachts.? Jan

Batavia by *Hans* - FINISHED
amateur replied to *Hans*'s topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Found it on the internet a couple of years ago. Has been my desktop-background ever since. The pic was taken one of the times Batavia was out on the Markermeer to do some sail-trials. Hence the somewhat strange sailsettings (Mains set without the topsails, normal practice was the other way round) Jan -
understanding Italian model boat plans - moved by moderator
amateur replied to susie2's topic in Wood ship model kits
Perhaps you could be somewhat more specific? Is it the (non)metric-problem, the Italian (or lack of english), reading the plans as such, or a kit-specific problem? Jan -
Batavia by *Hans* - FINISHED
amateur replied to *Hans*'s topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
No, I did some picture-searching in my luch-break, and Batavia has the braces belayed inside the gallion, on both sides (at least on th epic I use as my screensaver, klick for full screen, it's a really large picture) Jan -
mary rose partwork by hachette - moved by moderator
amateur replied to geoff's topic in Wood ship model kits
Why do these guys never tell you how many part are coming? I thought under European law they had to give full information on total costs over the full package.... Jan -
Yes Remco, We know you would go for six-sided bolts on the flanges It looks to me as the difficulty of this scale: what details do you incorporate and wich not: even the smaller details seem to be (or actually are) feasible, but were does to much detail destroy the overall effect..... So far: can't have enough of the detail Jan

Flower-corvette for sure, but why this one should be easy is not clear to me..... Ja
